AUSTRALIAN
W ell youngster«, I told
you how Rangy, the kanga­
roo. and i became pala, and
how 1 taught him to wash
old out o f the river-gravel
f how
or me.
And now, nere's
Rangy saved my life.
Foi a day or two we had
been wunhin’ gold out of a
rive r close to the jungle. I
had ju s t found a big nujr-
get, and was th in k’ n' how
rich I «oon woulrf be, when
xingo, a spear swished past
my head and plunked Into
th ’ tru n k o f a palm-tree.
1 yelled and tried to duck
into th* brush. Rangy, who
had been nlppln* a lunch o f
green leaves while rostin’,
«at up on his hind-legs and
blinked his eyes.
The’ next thing I knew a
lo t o f savages landed on top
o f me. I k i c k e d and
thumped a few o f ’em. but
there were too many fo r me.
W ell s'r, I flggered that was
goin* f be th* end of ol’ B ill,
sure.
Just as I was expectin' to
feel a spear smack into me,
th*
blacks veiled louder
than ever and rolled off my
back. Soon’s I could, I sat
up and looked around. W ell
a’r. scared as I was. I had to
laugh. There was good old
Knngy whackin' those ugly,
black men w ith his big mus*
c tila r ta il, and kickin ’ 'em in
n il directions w ith his long
hind-legs.
W hat a scrimmage that
was I Rangy was knockin’
th* hlucks and chasin' ’em
into th ’ Jungle. When th ’
last one of th* blacks had
disapeared Into th ’ jungle.
Rangy smoothed out his
whiskers, shook hands w ith
me and winked his eye. as
much to say, well, o l’-tlm er,
th a t was some row.
